Girl, 2, dies after being pulled from 'stolen car' found submerged in a RIVER

Chillingly, some of this group apparently showed little if any emotion when they learned of Becky’s death from her family, and have since closed ranks in something resembling a conspiracy of silence.

Coroner Mairin Casey said Becky was not seen taking any drugs in Ibiza and had very little alcohol in her bloodstream.

Foul play has also been ruled out because there is nothing to suggest Becky was assaulted.

According to a family friend Becky “stopped talking to the world” on social media on the morning of September 23.

It was a further five days before her body was found. But when exactly she died is also a mystery.

Toxicologist Dr Stephen Morley told the coroner that Spanish authorities found she had died about 48 hours before she was found in her room.

He said traces of alcohol and a “potentially fatal concentration” of ecstasy were found in her body.

But the accuracy of the Spanish toxicology has come into question.

It found she would have died around September 26 but nobody has reported seeing her after the early hours of September 23.

Becky’s parents strongly dispute the idea that she swallowed the drugs willingly.

Margaretha told the coroner this week: “It was my understanding that there had been found material removed from her abdomen.

“It was described as a body pack. She wouldn’t take any pills easily. I can’t imagine that getting in her body at all.

“If she didn’t have to take a pill she wouldn’t do because she couldn’t swallow it. I can’t see any other way than someone making that happen.”

Yet Becky was no stranger to drugs.

She admitted to her mother shortly before her death that she had tried cocaine in Ibiza that summer.

And her Twitter feed suggests she had a wild streak and would stay up all night clubbing with friends.

Spanish cops closed the case and refused to speak to The Sun in Ibiza or offer up a statement

At the pre-inquest hearing in July, coroner Casey said evidence from Becky’s mobile phone had alluded to drug use.

She said: “I have no difficulty in accepting that the family were not aware of this, but in light of what’s already been disclosed, and information from Rebecca’s phone, it would be very difficult for me to find that she did not partake in illicit drugs.”

As she had dabbled in drugs, it doesn’t seem unrealistic to suggest Becky did swallow ecstasy knowingly.

But her family is frustrated that the Spanish police did not pursue the possibility of a criminal element in Becky’s death and they have been told privately by British police that something about the case “stinks”.

They say — and the coroner is understood to agree — the Spanish police investigation was less robust than it would be in the UK.

Becky's parents have resigned to the fact that they may never know exactly how their daughter died

The coroner is known to have been hampered by the slow progress of the Spanish authorities and believes her inquest could not be more conclusive because their investigation was not as full or detailed as a UK police force would carry out.

Even so, the police have closed the case and would not speak to The Sun in Ibiza or offer up a statement.

Becky’s exhausted parents have hit a roadblock, and friends of the family say they are resigned to the fact that they may never know exactly why their daughter died.

And that leaves Becky as yet another tragic young casualty of the party drug that is seemingly more popular — and deadlier — than ever.
